Despite our best efforts, scratches can appear seemingly out of nowhere. Understanding how these scratches occur can help you take preventive measures to keep your vehicle in top condition. If your car does get scratched, the repairs should be done ASAP. Otherwise, you risk rust taking hold. At Pro-Masters Auto Collision & Hail Center, we provide expert car scratch repair in the greater Pueblo, CO area. Here’s a look at five common ways that vehicles get scratched.
Even when washing by hand, improper techniques can lead to scratches. Using dirty sponges or towels can potentially cause tiny scratches. To minimize this risk, use clean microfiber cloths and automotive-specific soap, and rinse thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris before washing.
Automatic car washes are convenient, but they can also be a source of scratches. Brushes used in some automated systems may accumulate dirt and debris from previous washes, which can then scratch your car’s paint as it moves through the wash cycle. While there are quality automatic car washes that don’t have this problem, it’s worth checking the reviews for a location so that you don’t visit a shop that has a reputation for this potential hazard.
Parking lots can be hazardous for your car’s paint job. Careless drivers opening their doors too wide can dent your car or leave scratches along the door panels. Shopping carts left unattended can also roll into your car, causing scratches or dents. Parking in less crowded areas can reduce the likelihood of these incidents.
Driving exposes your car to various road hazards that can lead to scratches. Loose gravel, small rocks, or debris kicked up by other vehicles can impact your car’s paintwork, especially at higher speeds. Maintaining a safe following distance and avoiding driving behind trucks or vehicles carrying loose materials can help minimize the risk of road debris scratches.
Unfortunately, intentional acts of vandalism can also result in scratches or damage to your car. Keying or other forms of vandalism can be frustrating and costly to repair. Parking in well-lit areas, using a garage if available, and installing security cameras can act as deterrents to vandalism.
